ABC has renewed “The View” for an epic 20th season, and Candi Carter was officially named executive producer of “The View,” effective immediately.

“This season ‘The View’ has once again been at the very heart of the political conversation and cultural conversation in America,” said James Goldston, president, ABC News. “Candi and the team have worked tirelessly to make ‘The View’ the place to be heard for an impressive roster of celebrities, politicians and people in the news.”

Carter joined the show last August, serving as the interim showrunner. She has extensive television credits with over two decades of experience, best known for her work as a senior/supervising producer at “The Oprah Winfrey Show” for over 15 years. She’s overseen a wide range of programming, from big events and musical performances to fashion and talent shows and surprise reunions. Carter executive-produced breaking news programs, specials and live town halls, including a Hurricane Katrina anniversary special, for BET.

“It’s an honor to be part of the extraordinary legacy built by Barbara Walters, the exceptional, funny and smart women at the table led by Whoopi Goldberg, and a terrific team behind the scenes,” said Carter. “Every day is a thrill.”

Under the leadership of Carter, executive consultant Hilary Estey McLoughlin and co-executive producer Brian Teta, “The View” has kicked off 2016 with its highest ratings in almost a year.

This show is contributing to the political divide in our country and Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are leading it. I have never in my life seen such one sided, biased, political vitriol spewed forth ever in a television show. My wife quit watching years ago. I have semi retired and don’t normally view daytime television, but have tuned into this on occasion to see what all the fuss is about. I think what would make the show more successful in the ratings would be if you had more balanced and objective hosts. You need to present both sides and… Read more »

The view has lost it’s entertaining quality. It used to be a show where you can observe different points of view but now it’s depressing and only of one point of view. Quite depressing that such grown women could behave like the people that they make fun of. The show has lost it’s charm. Not funny anymore. Too Bad.

Show has lost any entertainment factor. The constant negativity just never ends. Very aggressive against Trump. Never anything fun or enjoyable or anything positive regarding the future Trump administration. So if the goal of the show is negative Trump propaganda I might as well watch another real news program.

I used to like watching the view, but know all they talk about is politics, or Trump If I want to watch a news program I will turn on the news, and if they have someone on that does not agree with then they get nasty, and they tell the audience who to agree with and when to clap, I don’t watch the show that much I just turn it on to see who is on and when no one is on I turn the channel because who wants to hear about Trump constantly, the show is one of the… Read more »

I can’t believe that with all the outrage over locker room talk that is being called deplorable and disgusting and promoting the sexual assault on woman , how is this show continuing to allow woopie, a Roman Polanski rapist supporter and Raven symone and her supporting of Bill Cosby Okay. Please cancel this morally corrupt filth of a show

Please, get rid of this show. It is biased to the point of disgusting. Joy, Raven, and Whoopi are beyond respectful of so many people and problems this country is facing. They never really have their facts correct/ Just a bunch of manure being hustled.

I I wish that I could say that I like the view I but I can’t I liked it when Barbara was in charge it has got so political now if I wont to watch all that REP and Dem mess I can I watch the news SORRY!!!!
